The Copa del Rey Final against FC Barcelona has left a shocking image in Real Madrid's locker room: Rodrygo Goes has gone from untouchable to transferable.
His poor performance in the Copa final, his gesture of frustration when substituted, and the club's subsequent reaction have set off alarms. According to AS, Florentino Pérez has already made a decision: the Brazilian is for sale and his price is 100 million euros.
Rodrygo, who has been one of the most decisive players on European nights, has lost weight in Ancelotti's scheme. The arrival of Kylian Mbappé and the consolidation of Vinícius on the left wing have reduced his prominence.
Florentino Puts Him on the Market
In the Copa final, he once again showed a lack of confidence. His exit from the field was interpreted as a sign of a break with the club.
According to OkDiario, Rodrygo doesn't rule out leaving Real Madrid this summer. Although his contract extends until 2028, offers are already being handled in the offices of Valdebebas.
Teams like Liverpool, PSG, and Manchester City have shown interest. Florentino believes it's the perfect time to cash in and recover a million-dollar investment for a player who, at 23 years old, still has a great reputation in Europe.
Doomed to a Secondary Role in the New Real Madrid
Moreover, the possible signing of Alexander-Arnold and other reinforcements the club is considering could make his continuity unfeasible. Rodrygo wants to play everything, and in Real Madrid's new top-tier project, he risks being a secondary player.
The Copa del Rey was the trigger, but the decision had been maturing. At Real Madrid, the cycle of some players is beginning to close. Florentino is clear: if a 100 million offer comes in, Rodrygo will pack his bags.
Overshadowed by the brilliance of Vinícius, Mbappé, and Bellingham, Rodrygo hasn't felt comfortable this season. He has received significant offers, including from City. He is considering continuing his career elsewhere with more prominence than he enjoys at Real Madrid.
